TORONTO — Right-hander Edwin Jackson is poised to set a major-league record on Wednesday for the Toronto Blue Jays.

Jackson was selected to the Blue Jays’ roster on Wednesday morning, clearing the way for him to pitch for a record 14th major-league team when he makes the start for Toronto in San Francisco against the Giants.

The 35-year-old was acquired by the Blue Jays from Oakland on Saturday for US $30,000. He made three minor-league starts for the Athletics this season, two at triple-A and one at class A.

To make room for Jackson on the 25-man roster, left-hander Thomas Pannone was optioned to triple-A Buffalo.
